Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Single arm study.
Each subject will undergo scanning using the investigational echocardiography system (Ultra DCI Model 5000)to measure Diastolic Circumferential Strain Rate during Isovolumic Relaxation (DCSR-IVR) as novel measure of diastolic function.
Each subject will undergo echocardiography using a conventional echocardiography machine to evaluate the early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E-prime) using tissue Doppler as a standard measure of diastolic function.
Each subject will undergo standard echocardiographic measure of the mitral inflow pattern and invasive catheter-derived measure of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure to determine their diastolic function. This evaluation will be used as the gold standard for this study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diastolic Circumferential Strain Rate During Isovolumic Relaxation
Time Frame: Assessed from echo obtained at time of enrollment
Diastolic circumferential strain rate during isovolumic relaxation is a novel measure of diastolic function that measures the rate of relaxation of the left ventricle during the interval of isovolumic relaxation (the period of active relaxation). We would expect that a higher value reflects better relaxation, and better diastolic function.
Assessed from echo obtained at time of enrollment
Early Diastolic Mitral Annular Velocity (E-prime) Using Tissue Doppler
Time Frame: Assessed from echo obtained at time of enrollment
E-prime is a conventional commonly-used parameter of diastolic function. Higher values of E-prime typically reflect better diastolic function.
Assessed from echo obtained at time of enrollment
